Note that in the SAS Software GitHub repository for third party customizations, contributors mention utility files which facilitate, among other things, the interchange of information between VA and the DDC through data object transformations.
These same utility files and helper files are already available on the DDC server and can be accessed using the following pattern. An example is provided below.
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ url_for('static', filename = 'util/messagingUtil.js') }}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ url_for('static', filename = 'util/contentUtil.js') }}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ url_for('static', filename = '<your helper or utility file name>') }}"></script>
Therefore, if you have a new template you would like to export, and want to make use of these utility files, insert a script tag into your HTML accordingly.
Future functionality! We are looking at ways to provide functionalities which will enable users to upload their own custom helper and utility files, and will update the image once this task is complete.
